Work of art seeks work of art for Staring Contest \u2014 <\/em>an open call for a Museu occupation.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n


As we learned when we were kids, in a staring contest, one cannot smile, blink or even look away. All those things are subjected to the ultimate penalty: defeat. When two bodies face each other in a Staring Contest<\/em>, the tension between them is too evident. There is no place for compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this curatorial project, we ask the artistic community (and beyond) to suggest one or more objects that can be partnered up with the exhibited work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this second moment, from March 6th<\/sup> to September 4th<\/sup>, a partner was sought for Jo\u00e3o Onofre’s Ghost (2009 – 2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the deliberation of the jury, the second Staring Contest<\/em> features a work by the artist Felippe Moraes, in response to the already announced work by Jo\u00e3o Onofre. The relationship between A Dist\u00e2ncia do Horizonte <\/em>and Ghost <\/em>seemed to the jury to be the most appropriate, taking into account the curatorial assumption, despite the quality of the various proposals submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Let’s play a Staring Contest<\/em>. One body facing another. They must stare at each other. Whoever smiles, looks away or blinks loses. To be still, but not motionless: the play is on as it games on lethargy. A contribution to a symmetry of intentions, broken by the asymmetry on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
